Repeatedly committing fouls

[NorCalMike]

Friday night we were working a blowout. Late in the fourth quarter, the winning team scored a touchdown. During the try, R12 went across the neutral zone 4 times.  We advised him that if he committed this foul again that we would flag him for USC. Finally got the try completed on the 5th attempt.

Anyone ever flagged someone for repeatedly committing fouls that halve the distance to the goalline? Rule 9-9-2.

Up in the frozen wastes, all penalties accrued on a convert (save time count violation) can be applied on the kickoff. Methinks that would solve your problem.

As an aside, the first thing I thought of was - interestingly - soccer. The Beautiful Game has a provision for yellow-carding for persistent infringement ... if the same player continues to foul, or a team continues to foul in quick succession ... out comes the yeller card.

NCAA solves this nicely. Repeatedly and intentionally committing fouls with little distance penalty allows the referee to enforce any penalty he likes, including awarding a score.

In your case a quiet word with the coach might have been the easiest route, with the coach benching R12.

NHFS has a similar rule. Just never see it used before.

As far as talking to the coach, he was really happy with anything we did during that game so I don't think he would be much help.

just curious: since each state is abit different, was the mercy clock running at this point?

[NorCalMike]

Unfortunately we were on 34 points difference so no mercy rule yet? We use 35 points and in the fourth quarter. If the coaches agree we can do it earlier.
